Learning
It was night, and the room was dark, save for the orbs of light hovering over the books sprawled about the room.  Akilah sat with one book in her lap, carefully reading through the pages and analyzing history, potions, and theorized spells.  Although white magic was her specialty, some books on darker magic were in the mix.  At that moment, she was reading about a spell that allowed one to absorb magical energies from another being.

"Although it generally requires physical contact, absorption can be performed at a distance through an arcane sensitive medium," she recited.  Then she paused.  "How would one go about countering this?"  And she delved further into her studies.

"Personally, I would go with a warding rune. You keep it drawn on your skin. Refresh it daily with something simple," Daniel offers.

"Others might try a protective amulet. There are alo shields that can be drawn up if you know how that can break a connection real fast," Daniel is watching her. "I heard we had another magic user. I'm sorry if I am intruding but I was curious."

Akilah looked up, almost startled with her focus set wholy into the books. She studied him for a moment with narrow eyes. "It is fine," she assured him, "I have not met you yet. My name is Akilah Munroe."

She took a mental note of his suggestions.

He offers her a small but friendly smile. With just the magic she had been using to light the room he was cast mostly in shadows up with his paler features it was easy to see him.

"I'm Daniel Sherwood," he offers. "It's good to meet you."

He glances at the books then offers her a small look. "I use universal magic. My methods might not work the same as yours but if you're looking at protections I can help you study, if you'd like. I don't know many other practitioners."

"It is nice to meet you as well, Daniel."

Her gaze did not waver away from him. "Yes, protections are something I have been looking at for quite some time. While I can disrupt spells as they are cast and while they are cast, I wish to put more focus in direct combat, rather than constantly diverting even a sliver of my attention into an on-and-off defense. I welcome the offer for help."

He brightens visibly. He likes to study and the idea of getting to help someone else with their studies appealed to the wizard. "I understand you entirely. A lot of what you would have to do is early prep work to be ready to cut them off. Amulets and other things warded to protect the mind and body are what I would go for first."

He takes a seat on the floor cross legged then rolls up his sleeves to show off a set of intricately drawn on runes and protections. "I put these on every morning to protect myself from outside influences. Because I wear long sleeves they're less obvious than an amulet would be."

"I see." She studied the runes and protections and came up with an idea for an application of them. "Have you thought of embroidering these on the insides of your clothes?"

He looks surprised.

"I wouldn't have thought of that." He thinks it over and nods. "I could put them in my uniform. I already have protections on it to keep it from catching on fire or tearing. I could sew the protections in though. A needle is much different than something that slashes," he murmurs while rubbing his chin.

Now in the light his pointed ears are much more obvious since his head is tilted forward.

And his ears are what caught Akilah's attention next. She zero'd in on them.

"Are you an elf, Daniel?"

He was surprised that she asked that. But it wasn't something he was going to lie about.

"No. But I carry some fae blood in me. My mother made a deal with a fairy so she could have me. As a result I'm more sensitive to fairy magics," he explains. "People do desperate things when they really want a child."

"I suppose that is true." It had to be, considering what he just told her. "Do you have any heightened physical senses as a result as well? Or is the outcome stricly related to magic?"

"No. I do know that if I can train them my magical reserves will be .... bigger than a normal human who comes from a magical line," Daniel says while shrugging.

"I see." She retreated back to the book in front of her, but set it aside after a thought came to mind.

"Do you know where I could find more texts on magic?"

He nods. "I know different shops in the city. They cater to our community and are a little hard to find. You just need to follow the magic. They don't advertise."

For obvious reasons. It keeps the conspiracy theory nuts out for one.

Finally, Akilah smiled. That was the best news she had heard since coming to the United States (she still wasn't even sure if she had /actually/ joined the Avengers or not).

"I may finally be closer to taking action."

"Huh?" Daniel blinks looking rather surprised.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

He glances at her then shrugs. "It's not my business."

Plus he can't be too suspicious of someone who uses white magic.

Akilah just closed the book in front of her and stood. The orbs in the room began to shift and pull together as she moved her hand overhead, casting a better light from the ceiling.

"I have another question."

She waited for him to let her know it was alright to ask.
